What I'm looking for

I'm targeting Golang Software Engineer roles where I can build scalable backend systems, REST APIs, microservices, Kubernetes-based AWS workloads, and reliable cloud-native delivery pipelines.

At EPAM Systems, I deliver scalable SaaS applications across backend services, machine learning, data processing, AWS, and Kubernetes, shortening feature delivery cycles by approximately 25%. I build Python and Node.js microservices, REST APIs, and production ML workflows that have reduced API response times by up to 30% and release effort by approximately 40%.

Previously at Plex Systems and SharpQuest, I brought predictive models, data pipelines, web applications, and startup MVPs into reliable production environments. I enjoy improving architecture, performance, deployment consistency, and engineering quality through mentoring, code reviews, debugging, and practical collaboration.
